[0030] The present application provides an intelligent ring 100 which can adaptively adjust the size of the inner ring, Figures 1 to 7 The present application provides an intelligent ring 100 which can adaptively adjust the size of the inner ring,
[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The present application provides an intelligent ring 100 which can adaptively adjust the size of the inner ring, comprising a first part 12, a second part, an extension piece 3 and a heating assembly 5, the first part 12 and the second part are spliced to form a ring opening for wearing, the first part 12 is connected with the second part through the extension piece 3, the material of the extension piece 3 is shape memory alloy, the heating assembly 5 comprises a heating resistor 51 and a pressure sensor 52 connected by electricity, the heating resistor 51 and the pressure sensor 52 are arranged in a first accommodating cavity 1a, a detection end 521 of the pressure sensor 52 is exposed to the ring opening, and the heating resistor 51 abuts against one end of the extension piece 3.
[0032] The technical scheme of the utility model discloses an intelligent ring 100 which is designed in a split type, that is, divided into two parts, a first part 12 and a second part, both of which are in the shape of C, and the first part 12 and the second part are connected through an extension piece 3, which is configured as a shape memory alloy, so that the connection and separation of the first part 12 and the second part can be realized, and the first part 12 and the second part are still connected through the extension piece 3 after being separated, specifically, a heating assembly 5 is arranged at the position close to the extension piece 3, the heating assembly 5 comprises a heating resistor 51 and a pressure sensor 52, the heating resistor 51 abuts against one end of the extension piece 3, and the detection end 521 of the pressure sensor 52 is arranged towards the inner ring of the ring, when the user's fingers are congested and swollen after exercise, pressure will be conducted to the pressure sensor 52, after the pressure sensor 52 detects the pressure transmitted by the user's fingers, the heating resistor 51 will start to work, and the shape memory alloy will be deformed after being heated, because the internal crystal structure of the shape memory alloy will change phase when the temperature changes. At low temperature, the shape memory alloy is in martensite phase, which is relatively soft and easy to deform. When heated to a certain temperature (phase change temperature), the martensite phase will change into austenite phase, and the crystal structure will be rearranged and deformed according to the pre-set shape. In this way, the first part 12 and the second part are expanded to both sides, and the size of the ring opening is further expanded, so as to adapt to the deformation of the user's fingers and reduce the discomfort of the user.
[0033] The extension piece 3 has two forms, high-temperature phase and low-temperature phase, and in the low-temperature phase, the extension piece 3 contracts inward, the extension piece 3 has a deformation part 31 and connecting parts 32 arranged at both ends of the deformation part 31, the two connecting parts 32 are connected to the first part 1 and the second part 2 respectively, and the deformation part 31 is in the shape of an arc as a whole, so that a better deformation path can be provided at normal temperature, so as to ensure that the two end parts of the first part 12 and the two end parts of the second part abut against each other, and the two parts form a complete circular ring structure, in order to accommodate the extension piece 3, the two ends of the first part 12 towards the second part are each provided with a first notch 1b, and correspondingly, the two ends of the second part towards the first part 12 are each provided with a second notch 2b, and specifically, please further refer to Figures 3 to 5 The first notch 1b and the second notch 2b jointly enclose a deformation cavity when the first part 12 and the second part are combined, and the deformation cavity is used for providing accommodation for the compression deformation of the extension piece 3 at normal temperature. It can be understood that the first notch 1b and the first accommodating cavity 1a are not connected, and the second notch 2b and the second accommodating cavity 2a are not connected either, so as to ensure the internal sealing performance of the first accommodating cavity 1a and the second accommodating cavity 2a.
[0034] It should be noted that the extension piece 3 can be connected to the first part 12 and the end of the second part in an integrated design, or can be connected in a detachable manner, and the utility model does not limit this, and in an embodiment of the application, one end of the extension piece 3 is fixed to the first part 12 in a welding manner, that is, the extension piece 3 and the first part 12 are an integrated structure, and the other end is fixed to the second part in a clamping manner, and correspondingly, the second part is provided with a clamping part 21 for fixing the extension piece 3, and the extension part is clamped and connected with the second part through the clamping part 21, and when the internal components are maintained or replaced, the first part 12 and the second part can be separated into two parts, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the equipment.
[0035] In order to ensure the reliable connection of the first part 12 and the second part, the first part 12 is further provided with an electromagnet 4, and correspondingly, the second part is provided with a magnetic member 22, the electromagnet 4 and the magnetic member are oppositely arranged, and can be attracted to each other when the first part 12 and the second part are attached, and the principle is based on that when current passes through a conductor, a magnetic field is generated around the conductor. In the electromagnet 4, the conductor is usually wound into a coil, and when current passes through the coil, the magnetic fields inside the coil will superimpose each other to form a powerful magnetic field. If the coil is wound around the iron core, the iron core will be magnetized, thereby enhancing the magnetic field strength. When the current direction changes, the magnetic field direction will also change accordingly; when the current is cut off, the magnetic field disappears. This characteristic enables the electromagnet 4 to control the generation and disappearance of the magnetic field by controlling the current. As can be seen, the first part 12 and the second part are not only connected by the extension piece 3, but also connected by magnetic attraction. When the pressure sensor 52 detects the pressure transmitted by the user's finger, the electromagnet 4 will be controlled to be powered off at the same time, so that the iron core does not have magnetism, so that the two are separated, and when the pressure disappears, the electromagnet 4 will input current again to ensure its adsorption capacity.
[0036] The intelligent ring 100 proposed in the utility model adopts a sectional structure, divides the ring into two parts, that is, the first part 12 and the second part, and all components are installed in the first part 12, so that the degree of integration of the ring is higher. Since the first part 12 and the second part can be separated and detached, all components are arranged in the first part 12, so that independent batteries 6 can be arranged in the first part 12 and the second part for power supply. It can be understood that the intelligent ring 100 proposed in the application only arranges the battery 6 in the first accommodating cavity 1a of the first part 12, and specifically, please further refer to Figure 6, the battery 6 provides power for the main control board 7, the heating assembly 5, and the electromagnet 4. The battery 6 adopts an arc-shaped lithium polymer battery 6, which has high energy density, long service life, and stable charging performance, and is very suitable for small portable devices. The design of this battery 6 not only maximizes the use of the limited space inside the smart ring 100, but also significantly improves the endurance of the device.
[0037] As mentioned above, since all electronic components are integrated in the first part 12, the mass of the first part 12 is necessarily greater than that of the second part, which leads to uneven mass distribution of the ring and poor user wearing experience. In view of this, a balance block 9 is arranged in the second accommodating cavity 2a of the second part. For details, please further refer to Figure 6 , the balance block 9 is used to increase the mass of the second part, so that the masses of the first part 12 and the second part tend to be balanced, thereby optimizing the user's wearing experience.
[0038] To provide more comprehensive health data monitoring, the smart ring 100 also includes a motion monitoring module 8. For details, please further refer to Figure 1 , the motion monitoring module 8 is arranged in the first accommodating cavity 1a, and the motion monitoring module 8 has a monitoring end which is exposed to the ring opening. The motion monitoring module 8 monitors heart rate and blood oxygen through a built-in photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor. The PPG sensor uses light of a specific wavelength (such as green light or infrared light) to irradiate the skin of the finger, detects the changes in absorption and reflection of light by blood flow. Because the oxygenated hemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin in the blood have different absorption rates of light, by analyzing the changes in reflected light, the heart rate and blood oxygen saturation can be calculated. In addition, the smart ring 100 also combines advanced AI algorithms to process and analyze the signals collected by the sensor, removing noise and interference, thereby providing more accurate health data.
[0039] In order to feed the collected health data such as heart rate, blood oxygen, etc. to the user's terminal device, the smart ring 100 also has a built-in Bluetooth module (not labeled in the figure), which is in communication connection with the motion monitoring module 8. The Bluetooth module and the motion monitoring module 8 are connected through a serial communication connection. The heart rate, blood oxygen, and other data collected by the motion monitoring module 8 are sent to the user's mobile phone or other devices in a wireless manner through the Bluetooth module. This wireless transmission method not only realizes real-time synchronization of data, but also ensures the portability and flexibility of the device.
[0040] The above only describes the exemplary embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation made by referring to the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
